if you are under 18:
your nudes are child pornography
people you send them to can be charged with possession of child pornography
you can be charged with distribution of child pornography
don’t take nudes
This is not about body shaming, this is not about ‘telling you what to do with your sexuality’ this is literally a federal crime don’t fuck with the law okay.
I hate people who encourage underage girls on this site to share their bodies. Please report it to tumblr support if you see this. It’s not about “dobbing” people in, it’s a legal issue and is harmful to minors.
Listen if I want to fucking send a nude to my boyfriend of over a year I fucking will I’m pretty god damn sure the government doesn’t have my phone tapped.
the government literally does have your phone tapped… and if you break up with your boyfriend he can ruin your life with those pictures… long story short don’t send underage nudes
if you’re not mature enough to recognize this post as a message to help protect you and educate you then you’re not mature enough to send those nudes in the first place no matter how long you’ve been with your partner. if you view this post as something offensive rather than informative then you need to sit down and think about that. think real hard.
Also note that this isn’t just some hypothetical scaremongering post—there are multiple cases of teenagers who have been arrested, jailed and even put on the sex offender registry for this. It’s a very real danger that could absolutely ruin you life if you’re caught with these pictures of yourselves on your phone or if you send them to someone else who is caught with them on their phone or who, even worse, posts them publicly online.
